Chapter 2

1


 

  I am the flower of the field, and the lily of the valleys.  

 

 

--

2


 

  As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.  

 

 

--

3


 

  As the apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow, whom I desired: and his fruit was sweet to my palate.  

 

 

--

4


 

  He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Stay me up with flowers, compass me about with apples: because I languish with love.  

 

 

--

6


 

  His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.  

 

 

--

7


 

  I adjure you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and the harts of the, fields, that you stir not up, nor make the beloved to awake, till she please.  

 

 

--

8


 

  The voice of my beloved, behold he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping over the hills.  

 

 

--

9


 

  My beloved is like a roe, or a young hart. Behold he standeth behind our wall, looking through the windows, looking through the lattices.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Behold my beloved speaketh to me: Arise, make haste, my love, my dove, my beautiful one, and come.  

 

 

--

11


 

  For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone.  

 

 

--

12


 

  The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come: the voice of the turtle is heard in our land:  

 

 

--

13


 

  The fig tree hath put forth her green figs: the vines in flower yield their sweet smell. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come:  

 

 

--

14


 

  My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the wall, shew me thy face, let thy voice sound in my ears: for thy voice is sweet, and thy face comely.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Catch us the little foxes that destroy the vines: for our vineyard hath flourished.  

 

 

--

16


 

  My beloved to me, and I to him who feedeth among the lilies,  

 

 

--

17


 

  Till the day break, and the shadows retire. Return: be like, my beloved, to a roe, or to a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
